• Leg-spinner has been BBL’s top wicket-taker playing for Adelaide Strikers• Rashid will rejoin England squad for ODI and T20 games in South Africa

Trevor Bayliss has expressed his satisfaction at Adil Rashid’s success in the Big Bash League. The Yorkshire leg-spinner was expected to travel to South Africa with the England Test squad but Bayliss decided on a more progressive course of action.

With pace bowling always likely to dominate in South Africa, the England coach felt Rashid’s time would be wasted on the sidelines and helped broker a deal that saw him link up with his county coach Jason Gillespie at Adelaide Strikers.
